I wonder if these steps were stained with her blood...
"Miss."
A voice sounded from behind, waking Murong Xiao from his memories.
She stood up and turned around to look at the person who appeared silently behind her.
"Mr. Jing." Murong smiled and nodded slightly. She had just gotten married yesterday and hadn't had the energy to investigate Jing's affairs. However, she would put the matter on the agenda as soon as possible.
"Just now the Marshal sent me a message, asking me to come and see the young lady and ask if she encountered any problems after her wedding yesterday, or if there are any difficulties that the Marshal's Office needs to resolve?"
Mr. Jing was a guest of the Marshal's Mansion. Except for calling himself a subordinate to Murong Qingyu, he usually used the first-person pronoun "I" to everyone.
"Last night's bridesmaid was an assassin. Not only did she seek an opportunity to kill the prince, she also placed many scorpions and poisonous snakes on our wedding bed."
Murong Xiao's words made Mr. Jing frown under his mask and asked, "Are you okay?"
As soon as he finished asking, he realized the inappropriateness of the question and then added: "Although the Grand Marshal sent you as an undercover, the young master is still very concerned about your safety. There are too many people who want to kill the prince, so you should pay attention to your safety."
"Did the young master ask you to tell me this, or do you care about me yourself?" Murong Xiao asked instead of answering.
Mr. Jing was silent for a moment, then said, "After all, I've been your husband for such a long time, so naturally I'm worried about your safety."
Murong Xiao stared at Jing. She knew he was truly worried about her, but she didn't know why. After watching for a long time, she couldn't figure out what this person who always wore a mask was, so she gave up decisively.
"Last night, while drinking the wedding wine in the bridal chamber, I noticed something was wrong inside the bed, so I pretended to fall and pulled back the sheets. Surprisingly, the sheets were filled with venomous snakes and scorpions, and the entire bridal chamber was instantly in chaos.
The palace maids were all terrified and screamed, dodging everywhere. The bridesmaid also screamed and dodged towards us, then drew her dagger and tried to kill the prince. I was the one who finally stopped her.
"Did you catch him alive?"
"No. That bride was a ruthless assassin. Seeing that the assassination mission failed, she immediately swallowed the poison in her mouth and committed suicide."
After hearing Murong Xiao's words, Jing was obviously relieved and said, "Be careful in the Prince's Mansion. How did the Prince treat you yesterday?"
"They gave me medicine to make the prince impotent, what can I do?"
"You drugged him?"
"No, there was no chance last night. After the assassination, Qian Yeming placed me in another room and placed the girl I brought from the Marshal's Mansion under surveillance until this morning. It seems that in his heart, he still doesn't fully trust our Marshal's Mansion. I have to keep working hard."
"In other words, you haven't seen him since the wedding night ceremony last night?"
"I went to look for him once, wanting to check on him, but he was taking a bath when I got there. Half an hour later, I went to look for him again, and he was still taking a bath. After that, I looked for him twice more, but he was still taking a bath, so I didn't look for him again and he went back to his room.
Later, when it was almost dawn, he returned to his room. It was such a hot day, but he had covered himself with five quilts and wore a thick nightgown. It seemed that what Dad said was right, the cold in his body was indeed very severe, and his body was very weak.
After hearing Murong Xiao's words,
